Is Anyone Up for a Giveaway?
Up for grabs a new, unopened copy of Kwik Sew 3764.
I had first ordered it from an online sewing pattern shop which shall not be named because they took FOREVER to send it or even communicate with me after inquiries. So long, in fact, that I ordered a second copy from Fabric.com. Which meant, of course, that I eventually ended up with TWO copies of the pattern. My gain is your gain.
Leave a comment and you'll be entered into the random drawing. Comments to this post will be closed next Sunday evening and the winner will be announced next Monday, April 11. International (to me) readers are welcome to enter too. I'm especially enamored with Aussie accents (but it won't give you any advantage if you have one, even if you do bribe me with Vegemite).

I'd love to enter the giveaway. (I'm married to an Australian if that counts!)
ReplyDeleteBonza?
ReplyDeletePlease enter me into your contest!
I would I have asked for a refund from the slow shipping place. When I ordered from them, they seemed really shocked that I might be offended that they took my money and wouldn't respond to my emails for 3 weeks. Live and learn, I guess.
ReplyDeleteSign me up please! :]
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm in :)
ReplyDeleteAll in here :)

I am slowly increasing my jacket collection. This would be a wonderful addition. :) Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeletePlease enter me in your contest. I bet I can guess which sewing company you are referring to because the same thing happened to me, but I will keep quiet.
ReplyDeleteNice one!! Enter me too please!
ReplyDeleteDidn't you make the jacket? It's a great style, seems very versatile.
That's a great looking jacket...
ReplyDeleteHey, I want in the contest! Win or lose, maybe this'll kickstart the ol' sewing mojo.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, enter me in the contest! Sorry, not Australian but you can show me the love anyway.
ReplyDeletePlease enter me in the give away.
ReplyDeleteNot an Aussie, but I'm friends with the lovely VonneVo (does that count? We spend a few days in DL together so we're IRL friends now!). :-)
ReplyDeleteCount me in please
ReplyDeleteWould love a chance to win the pattern, Thanks!

I'd would definately love this pattern. I have admired it on line sometime. I have even read some blogs that have made the jacket already, and loved.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to have it. I've had the patt # bookmarked ever since you first posted about it, I think.
ReplyDeleteNot an Aussie, but add me please...
ReplyDeleteI'd love it, I've been thinking about making that style of jacket for awhile (I seem to be a bit of a jacketaholic...)
ReplyDeleteI'm in Canada, no Aussie connection here... :(

Sorry that you ended up with two... But I would love to enter your giveaway.. I love that pattern. Thanks for thinking of us.
ReplyDeleteImagine my surprise when reading my blog list this morning to find that you are offering this pattern to giveaway. I just added it to my must have pattern list last night, saw this awesome fur lined vest the other day for $400 and this pattern is the spitting image! Hope I win :-) Oh and all said in an Aussie accent all the way from sunny Queensland in Australia - like I need a fur lined vest, would still love this pattern though to make someting along the same line. Cheers and thanks!
ReplyDeletePlease enter me, too! That pattern has been on my wishlist :)
ReplyDeleteCute pattern!
ReplyDeleteI would love a copy of this pattern. We 'talked' about our mutual problem with this company and their shipping. I emailed twice and tried calling...voice mail box always full! My second email was answered with profuse apologies and I got my pattern very quickly...of course there was still a month delay in getting the pattern from the time I ordered. AND I even live in the same state they ship from!!! I almost feel like we should name the company...

ReplyDeleteI would absolutely love having a copy of this pattern, and I have the perfect fabric for such a jacket! It would be a great pick-me-up!
ReplyDeleteGail D.
Great jacket. Loved following along when you sewed the first one!
ReplyDeleteWell heck yeah! :) I love your blog (and thanks for the incredible tutorials, BTW). I'd bet that any jacket I make wouldnt' come close to the things you accomplish, but I'd like one for riding my motorcycle. This looks like a biker jacket to me. :)
ReplyDeleteNot an Aussie, not even a Marine momma, but would love to win the pattern. Great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'll jump in! Maybe even stretch my style a bit and learn something; separating zippers really intimidate me! ;)
ReplyDeleteLoved your rendition of this jacket and would love to make my own...
ReplyDeleteWell, uh, I like Foster's beer, does that count? Throw me on the barbie.. K
ReplyDeleteI followed your construction of this jacket...topnotch job. I would be thrilled to win this giveaway. Please enter me.

I just purchased some yummy bronze leather and this pattern would be perfect for it!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to be a part of your giveaway! Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteOh I would love to win it, as your version was a gorgeous jacket and using this as the base was fantastic.
ReplyDeleteOh I love this pattern, so I'm very interested in your giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI'm from Holland.
I love the biker jacket and I also have an Aussie accent !!!!!
ReplyDeleteOoh I'd love this! Thanks for the chance to win =D
ReplyDeleteUh, I'd love that. I'm from Denmark and the Crown Prince is married to a Tasmanian. And I can say G'day mate in a very broad accent. Does that count? :-)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win this pattern so count me in. I'm an Aussie and my bribe will be buying tickets to your husband's big band. I saw that In the Mood are in Town in a few months!
ReplyDeleteI'm a kiwi, not an Aussie but we are there closest cousins. It is a really cute jacket
ReplyDeleteI'd love to enter the giveaway. Enjoy your blog very much.

ReplyDeleteI love a giveaway! :) This is a great pattern - hope you post the finished product when you make yours!

I can talk with an Aussie accent (lived there for a couple of years), but I already have the pattern. I bought it after seeing your awesome version. (That slow place got it to me in under a week - figures since I wasn't planning to do it right away.)
ReplyDeleteOH pick me, pick me, pick me. I love winning stuff.
ReplyDeleteKathy
Uuuh cool pattern! I'm a sucker for give aways, sign me up! I know someone will be very happy getting that patter - that jacket-style will never go out of fashion.
ReplyDeleteI'll throw my name in the mix...that looks like a great style to add to the wardrobe! Mary mdeeter@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteI would love to be considered for that pattern for it's one I'd like to make. Did you make it up? How were the results? I'll scan down and look for it.
ReplyDeleteKaren akaKarendee
Please add my name to your list! I'm so inspired by your sewing--how on earth do you fit it all in?!?
ReplyDeleteGidday Mate! Not Australian, but one of my best friends is an Aussie. Also, New Zealand's not that far and some say it's even better over this side of the ditch ;)
ReplyDeletethanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love your bags. Great way to show your support of your son.
ReplyDeleteOh come on! Vegemite is an awesome bribe!
ReplyDeleteDiane from Sydney
3-4 weeks to ship a pattern?!!! Please name the company. I'm a big believer in word of mouth reviews so I share positive and negative experiences with everyone. If you read my blog, you will see 2 companies to avoid like the plague and many more to spend a paycheck at. Just my 2 cents.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, love this pattern. It's been on my "want" list for some time. Please enter me in the drawing. Thanks.
Have you noticed that Dana Delaney is wearing a very similar jacket in that new show on ABC - Body of Proof. It looks great on her.
ReplyDeleteI think the pattern is so cute but wouldn't be good on my body-type, so I'm not really entering the giveaway!
I Love the look of that pattern and would like to give it a try (even though I live in Florida, too!)
ReplyDeleteWould love to enter the giveaway. Enjoy your blog.
ReplyDeleteDonna aka McDonna on PR
I have Australian cousins, does that count? And, I love the jacket pattern. So, enter me in the give away, pleasev
ReplyDeleteI'll bribe you with vegemite. Not sure how I wound up with a jar, but I'm not going to try it.
ReplyDeleteTell your sewing sisters who was the tardy company. Life has consequences.
ReplyDeleteLove your jacket.
...don't have any vegemite, how about nutella? ;-)
ReplyDeletetotally love this pattern! It's been haunting me, but I have to use what I already have before I can spend any more on sewing right now.
70 comments!!?? I am going to buy a pattern I don't even need (since I don't sew), just to have a give-away on my blog.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I wore the "Debbie shirt" again last weekend to attend a wonderful concert at Alice Tully Hall. And to inaugurate my new teaching space last Wednesday. The first words of the studio owner when I walked in? "Great shirt!"
Indeed.
